People can publicly and respectfully disagree with Fey on the value of counter-protest or they can scathingly label her a "white feminist" enemy of the movement. Guess which one is going to get you more likes and shares on Twitter?

"Ice cream cake will not replace Real Cake!!!"

I've come to take comfort in the quirky stuff other people like that I have no interest in.

Ice cream cake is for children too lazy to put ice cream on their cake. I like ice cream to be frozen, but freezing cake doesn't do it any favors.

My takeaway from the reaction to the show is that we are supposed to beat up Tina Fey.

Thinking further, the Internet has helped too. Now I can find other people that like anything no matter how obscure. I don't need to badger acquaintances to read a Joe Lansdale novel because I really want to talk to someone about it.

At some point I just stopped caring about explaining things I like to people. When I was younger, I earnestly believed that everyone could love the things I loved if they would only open their eyes!

It helps that the show is generally on Youtube. You can just send someone a link in IM. It's a lot harder to get people to watch something on cable or Netflix.

Morrissey is something that gets harder to sell the more you explain it, I would say. If somebody knows nothing about him, and you just put on The Smiths, you've got a better chance of selling them than if you give them a lot of background first.

I remember hearing about it before it premiered, and it sounded like the most CBS thing ever. Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham team up in a weekly show to catch serial killers? Pass.

Lindsay Graham is an evil fucker, but he is a smart and sophisticated evil fucker, so he has an easy time looking good with the current ongoing mess.

Yes. I'm not about to defend any of these as works that hold up to modern gender politics, but I had a book of early Hagar the Horrible comics, and it actually had some cleverness to it, which is more than I can say about The Jetsons.

I remember the theme song to this show pretty well, and I distinctly remember black people getting a deluxe apartment in the sky.

Hagar the Horrible is honestly a better property than The Jetsons.

It lasted one season in prime time, then they just ran those same episodes on Saturday mornings for decades, so I don't think has ever cared about this show.

That is one of my defining early memories of Trump, so this was my first thought as well.

For contrast, let's see what actual Confederate Robert E. Lee had to say on the topic Confederate monuments.

Yeah, this headline is dumb even by AV Club standards. This was clearly Bannon pouring gasoline all over the Trump presidency on his way out the door. He wasn't pulling a Scaramucci.

I still don't always find his delivery to be the best, which mattered a lot more when he was delivering what passes for political satire on SNL. His current show allows him to be much more cutting, so the delivery matters a lot less. I'm watching because I am genuinely interested in what he will say.

I already do. The thing with the Mooch really was just mostly ridiculous and laughable. It was just a member of the Trump administration making an enormous fool of himself and getting an instant comeuppance. Of everything that has happened, it is one of the easiest things to laugh at.
